The new Biesse Canada and Intermac Canada headquarters in Mirabel, Quebec.
Biesse Canada and Intermac Canada will soon move to new headquarters in Mirabel, Quebec.
Construction of the facility began in October 2008, and the 25,000-square-foot structure contains nearly 6,000 square feet for offices and meeting and training rooms.
A number of green building approach-es have been incorporated into the design, such as the liberal use of glass, which will
let in abundant sunlight and lessen the need for electric lighting.
The headquarters also include a 6,000-square-foot showroom where Biesse and Intermac machines will be demonstrated at in-house events.
Mirabel was chosen as a location for its easy access to freight transportation.
